Thank you for your video I didn’t know that those shoots would take energy away from the fruits is it also the same for all fruiting trees? Thank you

[@PotsTrowels]

Hi Manuel, thanks for watching! We had a chat about this in the latest podcast episode, but effectively the answer is yes, the tree is putting energy into growing the water shoots that could be going elsewhere! -Sean

Hi Martin. Could the removed bits be used for cuttings? Seems a shame to waste them.

[@PotsTrowels]

We discussed this on the latest episode of the podcast - the short answer is probably not but you have nothing to lose in giving it a go! -Sean
